Rush Lyrics

Album: Chronicles

Red Sector A Lyrics

All that we can do is just survive

 All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

 

 Ragged lines of ragged grey

 Skeletons, they shuffle away

 Shouting guards and smoking guns

 Will cut down the unlucky ones

 

 I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed

 A wound that will not heal

 A heart that cannot feel

 Hoping that the horror will recede

 Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed

 

 Sickness to insanity

 Prayer to profanity

 Days and weeks and months go by

 Don't feel the hunger 

 Too weak to cry

 

 I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate

 Are the liberators here?

 Do I hope or do I fear?

 For my father and my brother, it's too late

 But I must help my mother stand up straight

 

 Are we the last ones left alive?

 Are we the only human beings to survive?
